I am going to use THESE, by Windyfire …. because I have them. But mostly because they are great cells. They come flattop or button top… I have some of both.

Hello Teacher thanks for your Info, :+1:
Unfortunately the Windyfire 14500 IMR 600mAh cells is not Available in Germany, (Germany (NO BATTERIES) | Germany has been temporarily suspended.)
That’s why I ordered these cells. Enercig (Tensai) TN1450HP - 650mAh 3,6V - 3,7V Li-Ion-Cells. - 6,5A/13A

I tried searching in here and didn’t see an answer. Should we get flat or button top for this light?
Thanks for the suggestion on a cell.

I can’t say for sure, I would ’think’ either one would work. Maybe M4D M4X can answer that question.

the driver has a raised button with 5mm diameter - so i think most cells would work
but if the shrink does cover the button ....

I think a Flat Top Cell, on the driver can work.

From the looks, a button top is safest. That might be large enough to go off the edges of a flat top contact. There’s enough room in the spring travel for a couple mm of length?

That’s a 5mm button on the driver, a flat top cell is easily 8mm inside the wrap, no problem.
The cut offs on the via’s are at a minimum 8.6mm, and they should be below the level of the button anyway….

Interested please.
look here Lumintop GT micro interest list

Hello my dear friends!
The Lumintop GT micro is near!

Unfortunately the driver cannot offer the additional AA / NiMh compatibility without adding downsides as:
low power in AA/NiMh config + HIGH parasitic drain + with 14500 its turbo only
So Lumintop decided to stay with the GT micro in the footsteps of the BLF GT: single LED – HIGH output – HIGH throw (for its size)
(the Narsil AA/NiMh/14500 design is not burried…. there are more proje…

Is anyone able to tell me what size MCPCB and driver this light uses?
I’m keen to try a white flat in it. Having not used a white flat yet, would it be ok with the stock driver in this light or would I need to swap it out with a lower current regulated driver?
